Far-out Lessons From Shuttle Teacher Proposed

ALBUQUERQUE — School officials here are asking NASA to allow the first teacher who flies on the Shuttle to broadcast live ``space lessons`` back to an Earthbound 4th grade class.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration officials say they are interested and want to see a more detailed proposal. The idea was developed by Michael Brasher, general manager of KANW-FM, the public radio station here.

``We`ll support his effort the best we can,`` said William D. Nixon, of the Educational Affairs Division with NASA in Washington. Nixon said that Brasher`s proposal is the first of its kind to be submitted to the agency.

NASA plans to send a teacher on a shuttle mission in January, 1986, but no one has been selected yet.
